Aluminium sculpture to be CNC'ed

[dav]

I think casting would be easier. Perhaps get a former made from wood on a CNC router and use that to make the mould to sand cast it.

Hi Jonathan

Yes I work in a sculpture fabrication workshop and have some access to a small foundry and resin bonded sand facilities, if the piece was able to be milled in wood ...and cast in sections say the cloud ,the body and the helmit I could cast these in aluminium and tig weld them together after. although the resin bonded sand, aluminium and gas would eat in to my £800 budget a bit. What would it cost to have the former's milled for a 65cm tall version in wood ?

Thanks
David
